Bro can't take a hint. Do yourself a favor and don't insist on talking to someone who isn't as excited to talk to you as you are with them.
There's a big "unmatch" button. In real life, sure, you can give curt responses to try to signal that you're not interested. That doesn't translate to the app. Hit unmatch and they vanish. There's no good reason to dead-end the conversation on tinder.
Alternatively, be an adult and tell someone when you're not interested. Some of us don't get cues like this. I'd argue most men aren't able to pick up on basic cues given how many stories there are out there of dudes not being aware they were being flirted with in the most obvious situations.
People don't owe you explanations of their choices. If literal silence is not enough of a hint, why keep pushing? That's on them. They are making the choice to keep going. Why is the other person responsible for that choice?
They are choosing to listen to their own neediness rather than facing what's right there. And that is a short, uninterested response.
Because not everyone is able to get those hints. I literally just said this.
If you're being a dick to everyone while showing zero interest, you do not get to whine about how you are treated. It is as simple as that. You are treated by how you behave and this behavior is shitty so it's treated shitty. No. There isn't an excuse that will allow someone to get away with this behavior fully and without crticisim, no matter how hard you try. People are responsible for that actions.
You literally repeated what I said. Yes, I agree. You are responsible for what you say. If you keep talking to someone, you are responsible for making that choice.
Ok, you didn't get the message the first time. Now you had a learning opportunity, if you choose not to use it and instead blame it on the other person, that's on you.
"Don't talk to someone that isn't taking back to you." Isn't a secret skill gifted to a chosen few. It's a learned skill, that everyone has to learn.
This isn't even "taking a hint", it's just logic. Don't eat pepper if you discover you don't like spice.
If instead of learning, you choose to blame the other person. You're using the other person as an excuse to not take responsibility or expecting something you have no entitlement to (their attention).
Yeah, because telling someone you're not interested can't go wrong either. Some dudes flip their shit, she gets a pass.
That doesn't really apply to dating apps. The whole profile vanishes when someone unmatches you.
Nope.
